Stacey Shane-Nusbaum, LCSW

Stacey Shane-Nusbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, self-esteem and identity concerns, ADHD, and intimacy-related challenges. Stacey practices in Florida and brings 11 years of experience across many settings.

She frames therapy around practical steps and clear goals. Sessions focus on skills you can use right away, and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. Stacey blends approaches rather than sticking to a single method, matching techniques to each person’s needs and pace.

Stacey has worked in telehealth, assisted living and skilled nursing, clients’ homes, addiction treatment programs, and private practice offices. That range gives her experience with medical issues, chronic pain, behavioral addictions, and co-occurring mental health concerns. She has offered both individual and group work and has worked with adults beginning in mid-adolescence through later life.

Her approach is person-centered and trauma-informed. She draws from cognitive behavioral tools, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and dialectical behavior skills when useful. Stacey also uses narrative and mindfulness practices to help people gain control over distressing thoughts and impulses.

Stacey aims for a relaxed, respectful working style. She invites questions about the why and how of therapy when clients want them, and she keeps explanations brief for those who prefer a more direct, skills-based focus. The goal is steady progress toward the client’s priorities.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood management, and some addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust, and can help with intimacy, communication, and relationship concerns.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The clinician will discuss goals, preferences, and how different approaches might help. Together they decide whether to focus more on skills practice, deeper exploration, or a mix of both based on what the client wants and needs.

Stacey’s biography indicates she has experience with telehealth, but specific session types should be confirmed before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, keep shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people work on behavioral skills and thought patterns from their everyday context, so practice between sessions can feel more relevant. Ask about current session options when you schedule to match format with your routine and goals.
